“Father! Father!” Mason kept shouting his father's name all around the mansion where his father lived to get a response but yet to no avail. Everywhere was silent like a graveyard and this was unlike his father. “What could be happening? Is there something going on that I'm not aware of?” he stopped at the entrance of the mansion and muttered slowly to himself. “Are you sure someone hasn't raided this mansion?” He questioned himself. “No! I don't think anyone is capable of raiding this place without getting punched. But, come to think of it for a second my father sent me a text in urgency and it feels as if he was in danger.” “Enough! I'll enter this mansion and I'll know what exactly is going on.” He inhales and exhales, placing his hands on his chest and saying a short prayer. “Let's do this, Mason. At the count of three. One… two. Three…” he pushed the door of his father's mansion that led to the sitting room. “Why is everywhere still dark? What exactly is going on in h
Andrew struggled with his breath to speak up but as he kept on trying his voice wasn't loud enough. “Father, tell me this is a prank. What the hell is happening right now? “ he yelled out loud feeling so paranoid. “I.. I.. Want..” Andrew placed his head on the floor and started convulsing. “Fuck! This is unbelievable.” Mason stood up from the floor and started pacing around with his hands moving around his hair. “Sir, do you want me to call his doctor for you?” One of the maids reached out to Mason for help. “How about we get you some water to give Mr. Andrew.” Another maid suggested as they tried their best to come up with a solution. Mason who was seen pacing round and round the dining table thinking of the next solution to do calmly said to himself, “I think I know what to do.” He carried his father off the floor and took him to the room. “Sir Mason, what exactly are you doing? Do you think taking him in there will revive him? We need to rush him to the hospital before
They all stared at him without any response coming out of their mouth. “Are you guys deaf? I asked who poisoned my father,” he shouted at them at the top of his voice with a straight look. They all looked at each other starting from the maids down to the guards and responded to him in unison, “Nobody sir.” Ha! Ha! Mason laughed out loud looking at each other in their eyes moving from one point to another. “So, what you guys are trying to tell me is that I'm a liar, right?” He stopped for a moment and raised his eyebrows. “No sir! We are just saying that we didn't poison our boss. Mr. Andrew has been a very good fellow to us and he treats us like his own family so why are we going to poison him.” The eldest among them spoke up her voice cracking as tears streamed down from her eyes. “Enough!” He commanded them with his hand raised signifying to them to hold their voice. “Does that mean that I'm a liar?” He asked them one more time. “No sir! That's not what she meant. S
After waiting for up to thirty minutes just to catch up with a bus Precious finally found one and quickly rushed into it as the drizzling rain was pouring on her body. “Welcome ma'am. Where are you headed to?” The driver welcomed her in with a smile on her face. “Drop me at Keyamo cafe. Thank you.” She responded to the driver while her attention was still focused on her phone. “Alright, ma'am.” He started his engine and zoomed off to her location with his head moving alongside the rhythm of the music. Precious was so focused on her phone that she didn't care what the road was like, “Let's meet at Keyamo Cafe. I have a lot of things to tell you about what I witnessed today.’ She sent the text to an unknown number and switched off her phone. The driver looked at her through his car mirror and noticed that she was feeling uncomfortable and unrelaxed. “Ma'am, it feels as if something is going on through your mind. Do you mind sharing with me?” Precious shook her head and scoff
Mason left his father's room after sealing his cheek with a kiss and headed over to where the CCTV room was being controlled. “Gotcha!” He jumped out of joy and anger mixed in his feelings and made a silent walk to the room. “It's time to know who the real culprits are.” He pulled out the chair and sat on it with his eyes focused on the screen looking for any slight proof. Precious rested her back on the chair and placed her phone on the table. “I think Mason is not who we know him as.” She spoke up to Louisa. Louisa rolled her eyes, “Is this what you want to tell me about?” “Yes! We both need to join our hands together and think of better ways to find out who he is and what exactly is his mission in that company.” Louisa laughed out loud, “I think you hit your head on the wall, right?” “What made you say that?” She rolled her eyes at her. “That's because you are talking out of context. Oh! What am I even saying? Didn't I see that he carried you to your destination toda
“Shit! My father has been harbouring murder's in his home thinking that he has workers.” Mason spinned around with his chair feeling so embarrassed while watching the footage of the CCTV camera. “What exactly did I just watch?” He stood up from his chair in anger and walked out of the room. “Father! Where exactly did you get all these people to come work for you?” he sat beside his father on the bed. “Son! These people have been my rock and they've been there for me since the ages of time.” “Father, I just found out that you are being posioned by the so called people that got your back.” Andrew coughed out slowly, “What are you trying to say Son? I don't want to say that I don't believe your words but with what you just said I don't believe you.” He turned to the other side feeling disappointed with what he just said. “Father I know I shouldn't have brought up this topic to your ears but believe me when u say that I've found out the person that wanted to eliminate you.” “Son
“Sir, everything that she is saying is all a lie and I can swear with my life that I have no idea about what she is talking about.”“Ahh! Alex are you the one saying this? Didn't you threaten me that if I didn't do it you'll kill my child? Or is that one a lie again?” She turned to Facebook him with tears dripping off her eyes. “I don't know what you are talking about, Seline. Why are you trying to play the pity card in here?”Mason looked at the both of them and turned to Alex, “Alex for the last time, is she saying the truth or the lie? Are you trying to tell all of us here that she only cooked up that story and nothing in it is a truth?”“Mason, come to think of it. I am only a security guard and my duty post doesn't pass the security house. So, what business do I have to do with a chef whose duty is to prepare meal for our boss?”“So, you are trying to tell all of us in here that you didn't do it, right?” He asked him one more time. Seline cut him short with her fingers pointing
James walked into the room where Anna was sleeping and tapped her on her shoulder, “Babe Babe!”She shrugged a bit, “What is the problem James?”He say beside her caressing her hair backwards, “There is nothing absolutely wrong but I want to inform you that I'll be going out soon.”“Babe, today is Friday you can't afford to go out. After all you are the CEO of your own company so why then are you bothered about going to the office today.” She cleansed her eyes with the back of her palm. “Yeah! I know that today is Friday but I still have to attend to the people working in my office. Today being Friday is our supervision day.” He tried explaining it to her like a five year old kid. She rolled on the bed out of frustration, “Urgggg!!!”“I know you want me to be by your side today and I also massage your back because of what happened to you earlier today but you don't have to bother about that I'll be back before you know it.”“That's exactly what you keep on saying, babe. I know that
Jason pulled him back after receiving the warm embrace that was presented to him by Mason, “Are you sure you are fine? Are you sure nothing happened to you?” He touched all the body of Mason to be sure nothing happened to him. “I'm doing okay, man. It feels so good to see you, Jason. I thought you wouldn't show up right here with me.” he hugged him one more time before relaxing the tightness of his body. “No way! Mason, there is no way I won't show up right here after everything I heard on that call. I'm more than excited to see that you are safe.” A warm smile erupted on his face,“Thank you, Jason. But, how were you able to locate my father's house I know that I've never for once brought you here before.”Jason smiled back at Mason and shook his head back and forth in agreement with what he said, “Well, I and Precious traced you one time when you left the office abruptly and that's how I was able to locate your father's mansion.”“What is happening over there? Mason, who are you
“This isn’t real!” Lucas was stunned as he heard the loud sound of the gun the moment the senior officer fired it directly at Alex.“I hope nothing happened to Alex.” James leaned closer to Lucas using him as a means to find his strength as he couldn’t get over the fact that a bullet just went through Alex's back.“Pick him up!” The senior officer yelled at the other officer standing close to where Alex lay on the floor.The young officer nodded his head in affirmation and without wasting much time pulled Alex up with his back being covered with blood as if he was drowning in a pool of blood.“What should I do to him, Sir?” the officer asked, looking bothered while waiting for the commander to give him a command so he could follow his lead.“Take him to the ambulance and have him handcuffed.” He darted his face over to Lucas and James who were shivering from the way they kept on leaning on each other.“I want you both to stretch forth your hands without any fuss.” His eyes were on the
Aunty Margaret groaned in pain as she lay on Andrew’s body trying so hard to protect him from getting hurt and being attacked by his oppressors. “Dad, are you okay? Aunty Margaret, can..can..you hear me?” Mason's eyes were gradually getting heavy with the tears he had been hoarding for far too long.Andrew managed to shove himself off Maragraet’s body while she was still lying on him, “Margaret, can you hear me at all?” He managed to ask with his weak voice.“I need to be taken to the hospital as soon as possible. My leg feels heavy and I…can’t..feel..myself anymore.” She poured out her words in pain with her hands still holding the tip of her leg groaning out in loud pain of discomfort.“Fuck!” Mason gradually stood up from the floor and placed Aunty Margaret’s head over his Dad’s lap.He ran over as fast as his legs could carry him the moment his eyes caught Naomi as she was trying to plot her escape amidst the officers that were being surrounded in the room. Mason jumped over the
“What!!!” The gun that Alex had on his hands dropped to the floor in agitation. “Any words or actions you say or do will be used against you in the court of law. I want you to surrender yourself and walk through the door,” the senior officer said aloud.The security officers stayed in circles as they surrounded every corner of the living room, while some of the armed men stayed outside the mansion, protecting the wall corner so no one would escape. The loud sound of their siren echoed through the estate and some of the neighborhoods were curious to know what was happening behind closed doors. “But, we didn't do anything at all, Officer. You can't just bump into us and ask that we surrender to you.”James attacked the officer without feeling any remorse for his actions. The other officer cocked out his gun still putting on a straight face, “Young man, don't force me to pull this trigger on you. You heard what he said, right? So just do it and stop wasting our precious time.”“I'm so
Everyone in the room was startled the moment they heard the old cracky voice coming from behind. Both James who was about to pull the trigger on Mason and Lucas who was charging James up to pull the trigger slowly turned their head to see where the voices were coming from. “Yes! You heard what I said and the earlier you drop, down the gun and surrender yourself to the police the better for everyone.” Aunty Margaret's hands were shaking as she placed the phone right to their faces still maintaining a long distance away from them. “Who the hell are you? And, what exactly are you doing in here?” Alex faced her a dead stare walking closer to her with every pang of anger. “That shouldn't be the question you are many to ask at this crucial hour, Alex. You have less than five minutes to surrender yourself to the police unless..”“Unless what? You guys can't do anything at all. All that you all are known for is to keep on making empty promises and threats.” James gawked at her without any
“Why are you still raising an alarm? Common! Take my life, Alex.” Mason was bold enough to give him a swift response without feeling an iota of fear in him. He was ready to take the bull by the horns and face him one-on-one without feeling scared of how it would feel once he pulls the trigger. “I can see that you've grown so many balls, Mason.”Alex placed the pistol on his temple and kept on hitting it on his temple repeatedly.“Do your worst, Alex. You can't do anything to me just pull the trigger and let's end it once and for all.” He yelled at him with his heart panting and racing so fast. “I love the way you have so much balls in you.” He smiled at him and jerked him off his shoulder. “I don't give a fuck about you Alex. Do your worst and let's end it once and for all.”“Alex, why the hell are you trying to pity this bastard? Pull the trigger and let's get ourselves out of this place once and for all.” Lucas commanded him instructing him to take the lead. “Okay, boss. I'll do
Alex patiently waited for Andrew to say a word but the young man was still bold and courageous that he didn't even bother to flinch or utter anything at all. “I can see that you've grown so big that you are no longer scared about your life anymore.” Alex out of annoyance tightened his neck so hard. “You..can’t…do.. anything..to me.” He struggled to say a word but kept on persisting as he stuttered with his words. “Is this how stubborn you are? I can see that you are just as stubborn as your son.” Lucas moved over to where Alex stayed beside Andrew still holding onto the pistol. “Poor Mason! Won't you tell your father not to be stubborn and say his final words of prayer? You can see that I've been lenient to you and your dad.” He moved his face closer to him. A roar of laughter came out of Mason's mouth after hearing the words gradually coming out of Lucas's mouth. The loud laughter triggered Lucas to stand up from his squatted position and angrily grabbed Mason's neck so tight t
“What!” Lucas and Alex chorused together with shock all over their faces after hearing the truth coming out of her mouth. Mason waved his head over to his dad with a thousand and one question going through his mind, “Dad, can you hear what this young lady is saying? Is she truly my mother?”“Mason, you don't have to listen to everything that she is saying. Naomi is a blatant liar and I'm certain the major reason why she is in here is to cause destruction.” Andrew shoved his chair trying to come closer to where his son sat. “Really? Is that what you've been feeding my son with, Andrew?” She kicked her leg on his chair with anger gracing her voice. “How dare you lie to his face, Andrew? Why didn't you tell him that I've been there for you through thick and thin? Why are you causing so much harm and pain to this young boy?”“Pain?” Andrew chuckled out in euphoria. “If anyone should be talking about pain it should be me and not your stupid ass, Andrew.” She blurted out at him. “Dad,
The room suddenly went cold as everyone threw their gaze on the young lady whom Andrew had addressed as Naomi. The poor aged man cleaned his eyes by blinking it twice since his hands had been tied to the chair while rying to be sure that he wasn't dreaming at all. “Naomi, is that you? Are you the one?” He gave her this shocking expression while still trying to fight what he had just witnessed. “Dad, do you know her? Where do you know her from?” Mason blinked his eyes trying to understand the reason why his father was shocked to see the fair young lady standing at the entrance of the door without saying anything. "The last time I checked, Dad. I haven't seen you with a lady so who is she to you." he pressed further to know more. “Will you shut up your mouth, Mason?” Alex smacked his lips with his back hands instructing him to keep shut. Mason closed his eyes in regret, waiting and hoping for the time he would be free from this chair so he would be able to show Alex the type of man
